Riding on Ye Chen's back, the colossal Fire Sparrow let out a piercing screech!
As an extremely powerful presence among Great Demons, it possessed the innate pride of the Dark Nether Sparrow clan. It would drive away other Great Demons that came close!
It had single-handedly taken over the eighty-eighth Floating Peak. Not even the demon beasts of the four surrounding peaks dared set foot there.
Now, this little human youth had actually mounted its back, seeking to capture and subjugate it. How could the giant Fire Sparrow be willing?
Amidst the ear-piercing screech, the entire back of the colossal Fire Sparrow, feathers and all, blazed with endless azure flames, seeking to burn Ye Chen upon its back to ashes!
"If I'm not afraid of a direct confrontation, why would I fear this flame?"
Mounted on the colossal Fire Sparrow's back and looking at the giant feathers—larger than his entire body—from which rose the endless azure flames, the silver Gang Yuan True Qi around Ye Chen furiously swirled, blocking all the flames.
The flames ineffective, the giant Fire Sparrow screeched even more fiercely, rolling in an attempt to shake Ye Chen off.
At this moment, Ye Chen riding on the back of the great Fire Sparrow, grabbed fiercely with his hands, his massive Gang Yuan True Qi binding him tightly to the Sparrow's back, like a feather that regardless of how the Fire Sparrow shook, could not be cast off.
Unable to burn or shake him off, the tiny human youth on its back had driven the colossal Fire Sparrow into a frenzy.
In the midst of its shrill screeches, with Ye Chen on its back, it turned around and charged crazily towards the eighty-ninth Floating Peak—it wanted to crush Ye Chen against it!
The collision shattered a good half of the eighty-ninth Floating Peak. The shock of the impact not only made Ye Chen's breath surge, but even the Fire Sparrow itself bled from the blow.
Yet the Fire Sparrow, heedless of its bleeding, continued to ram into the peaks over and over again.
It seemed determined to shake Ye Chen off its back, even at the cost of injury.
The massive Fire Sparrow had become truly frenzied!
After completely demolishing the eighty-ninth Floating Peak, the screeching colossal Fire Sparrow charged towards the ninetieth Floating Peak.
In the endless collisions, even with the protection of Gang Yuan True Qi and his boundless strength surging, blood seeped from the corners of Ye Chen's mouth and body as he rode on the Fire Sparrow's back.
But Ye Chen's eyes blazed with an unwavering conviction he would not be thrown off by this giant Fire Sparrow, no matter what.
To truly subdue this flying Great Demon, it had to be utterly dominated, made to willingly become his mount!
Blood seeped from the corners of Ye Chen's mouth and body, and countless drops of blood also emerged from the feathers of the colossal Fire Sparrow.
After demolishing the ninetieth Floating Peak as well, both Ye Chen and the colossal Fire Sparrow were covered in bloodstains!
This terrifying sight had everyone watching with bated breath.
They had not expected the colossal Fire Sparrow to refuse to submit under such circumstances, displaying such astonishing pride!
Nor had they anticipated Ye Chen's willpower to be even more steadfast than that of the colossal Fire Sparrow. Regardless of the Fire Sparrow's frenzied ramming, he remained on its back, as steady as a boulder, not budging in the slightest!
It was clear that the two were engaged in a true contest of wills, and whether or not Ye Chen would successfully capture the colossal Fire Sparrow was about to be determined!
After demolishing seven Floating Peaks in succession, the bloodstained colossal Fire Sparrow, failing to shake off Ye Chen, suddenly dove into the midst of the myriad of flying demon beasts and Great Demons watching from afar, with a series of piercing screeches!
It was trying to drag Ye Chen into the chaotic fray of Great Demons!
Seeing the colossal Fire Sparrow dive towards them, the myriad demon beasts and Great Demons panicked and began to fly around crazily—the entire sky became completely obscured by the wings of Great Demons.
With its talons sharp as hooks, the colossal Fire Sparrow grabbed a twelfth-tier flying demon beast and, with a single tear, ripped the eighty-meter-long creature to shreds!
Amid the carnage, countless demon beasts and Great Demons howled!
Dozens of Great Demons, bloodied by the colossal Fire Sparrow's attacks, charged towards it and towards Ye Chen on its back.
At that moment, Ye Chen's hands tightly clutched the colossal Fire Sparrow, and simultaneously, hundreds of Sword of True Qi blades formed around him.
These Swords of True Qi were shrouded in a murderous intent. Any demon beast or Great Demon that attacked was either slain or wounded by them!
In the end, amidst the rain of blood and flesh, Ye Chen and the colossal Fire Sparrow burst into the throng of demon beasts and Great Demons, they slaughtered over twenty demon beasts and severely wounded more than a dozen Great Demons!
The remaining demon beasts and Great Demons, terrified by the Fire Sparrow and Ye Chen, dared not stay in the sky any longer and fled into the distance with cries of alarm!
After diving into the swarm and still being unable to deal with Ye Chen, the chaotic Fire Sparrow, its eyes sharp as lightning, locked onto those below on the flying demon beasts and the Rotating Pill Realm powerhouses standing in the void.
It charged towards these people, regardless of the consequences.
The earlier spectacle of the colossal Fire Sparrow tearing apart the demon beasts and Great Demons had completely stunned the disciples below and the demon beasts they rode on.
Now, seeing the colossal Fire Sparrow having killed myriad flying demon beasts before attacking them, many of the disciples screamed in terror.
But at that moment, Daoist Wine Sword gave a cold snort.
He picked up the large wine gourd behind him and took a swig, then opened his mouth to spray, and the mouthful of wine flew out, forming a huge barrier hundreds of yards in diameter that enveloped all the spectators within it.
Just as the huge light screen formed, the gigantic Fire Sparrow, carrying Ye Chen, struck in front of the crowd.
In an instant, the gigantic Fire Sparrow collided with the huge barrier.
Even Floating Peak, which could be shattered by an impact, did not cause this barrier any harm; when the Fire Sparrow collided with it, it was repelled and flew backward, its majestic head feeling somewhat dizzy.
It finally realized that below were even more formidable and daunting people!
The tumbling Fire Sparrow once again charged towards the sky.
"Many thanks, Daoist Wine Sword, for your intervention!"
Daoist Wine Sword, truly a powerhouse in the later stage of the Rotating Pill Realm, managed to stop the rampaging Fire Sparrow with just a gulp of wine, causing the disciples taking the exam to look at him in amazement.
Fairy Jia Luo, as the host of the exam, also smiled and addressed Daoist Wine Sword.
Even if Daoist Wine Sword had not intervened, she would have acted, but she certainly appreciated his kind gesture.
Daoist Wine Sword waved his hand at Fairy Jia Luo with a smile: "This 'Dark Nether Sparrow' has quite a determined nature, still not willing to submit in such a situation!"
"However, the more a spirit pet initially refuses to submit, the more reliant it becomes on its master after acknowledging one. This lad Ye Chen, if he truly subdues this Dark Nether Sparrow, he will indeed have a fine mount!"
Daoist Wine Sword said, continuing to look up into the sky.
"I fear this Dark Nether Sparrow cannot escape Ye Chen's grasp," Fairy Jia Luo said with a smile, then also looked up into the sky.
While everyone watched in anticipation, the berserk Fire Sparrow once again soared through the sky.
By then, it was completely at a loss with Ye Chen!
It couldn't burn him with fire, couldn't shake him off, and even when it collided with Floating Peak, causing its own blood to surge, Ye Chen still didn't fall from its back.
It plunged into the midst of the Demon Beast Great Demons, tore through a sky full of Demon Beasts, provoked numerous attacks from the Great Demons, and still couldn't do anything about the human youth.
In the heart of the Fire Sparrow, there was a mix of admiration and anger towards this tiny human youth!
The admiration was because it had never seen such a powerful youth before!
The anger was because this youth insisted on making it his mount!
The Fire Sparrow, being an intelligent Great Demon, didn't know what to do.
Submit? Its pride still made it unwilling to submit just like that.
At that moment, Ye Chen, who had been riding on the back of the Fire Sparrow whilst it rolled and collided furiously without moving an inch, finally made his move.
Ye Chen knew that the will of the Fire Sparrow was at its weakest right now.
The time to capture this Fire Sparrow was now!
Just as the gigantic Fire Sparrow was at a loss with Ye Chen, screeching shrilly, Ye Chen, who was on its back, had the huge golden monkey phantom surrounding his body suddenly burst into flames.
In an instant, all the golden monkey phantoms were consumed by fire, transforming into a source of power.
This was the display of the full release of the third transformation of the Nine Transformation Fighting Body's combat power!
Ye Chen, with all his golden monkey phantom's power burning, felt the golden monkey spiritual patterns within the bones of his body emanating light. His hand, grasping the back of the gigantic Fire Sparrow, suddenly exploded with astonishing strength.
This power, shining with golden light, passed through Ye Chen's palm and instantaneously spread to every part of the Fire Sparrow's body.
In the end, every single blue feather on the Fire Sparrow glinted with the golden light.
The power contained within the golden glow was something the Fire Sparrow could clearly sense, and it even felt like if it did not submit, the golden power would surge through its feathers and completely shatter its body!
For the first time, this terrifying power caused the Fire Sparrow to tremble.
The Fire Sparrow, which was close to a sentient being, knew that it could not contend with this small human youth anymore.
It had no choice but to submit.
The Fire Sparrow let out a low cry, and with its cries, all its blue feathers once again transformed into the fiery red ones it had before.
It had withdrawn its bloodline ability, and at the same time, it bowed its head.
This signified that the proud and immense Fire Sparrow had finally admitted defeat and submitted, after the astonishing battle and intense suppression from Ye Chen.
Hearing the low cry of the Fire Sparrow, Ye Chen on its back cracked a slight smile, shifted his form, and flew down to the front of the Fire Sparrow's head.
He reached out to stroke the head of the gigantic Fire Sparrow.
This time, the Fire Sparrow did not go berserk, nor did it attack Ye Chen.
It opened its bright eyes, earnestly sizing up the youth in front of it who turned out to be even more powerful than itself.
